The 13th biennial L.M. Montgomery Institute's International Conference, L.M. Montgomery and Reading, takes place June 21-24, 2018 on the campus of the University of Prince Edward Island. The 2018 conference wlecomes research that considers L.M. Montgomery and Reading in all its forms and possibilities. The allusions in Montgomery’s novels and the richness of her own reading life raise a host of questions about the politics, history, culture, technologies, and practice of reading. In turn, fans and scholars explore what it means to read Montgomery as they continue to visit and revisit her novels and autobiographical work. Her enduring popularity continues to inspire translations and transformations that offer readers new ways to experience Montgomery’s texts.

This conference also marks the 25th anniversary of the L.M. Montgomery Institute, providing an important opportunity to (re)read and reflect on the past and future of Montgomery scholarship and to explore how the presenters see themselves in a community of international, interdisciplinary, and interrelated readers.

With an exciting line-up of keynote speakers, including Margaret Mackey, Professor Emerita in the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alberta (One Child Reading: My Auto-Bibliography), Montgomery scholar and former UPEI president, Elizabeth Epperly(Through Lover’s Lane; The Fragrance of Sweet Grass; Power Notes), Catherine Sheldrick Ross, Professor Emerita and former Dean of the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at Western, (Reading Still Matters: What the Research Reveals about Reading, Libraries, and Community; The Pleasures of Reading: A Booklover's Alphabet), and Emily Woster, Assistant Professor in the Department of English, Linguistics, and Writing Studies at the University of Minnesota Duluth and Visiting Scholar at the L.M. Montgomery Institute, this conference promises to foster research excellence and innovative directions in Montgomery scholarship from around the world.
